So the rumors were true.
"The Wild Sex Life of Kanna Hatano"
"School Withdrawal Form" "Student Name: Kanna Hatano" "Reason: Family Reasons"
We can assume there's some reason she needs to stay near Mt. Sankaku,
and also a reason she has to keep transferring schools.
That's why I asked you to look after her.
You've noticed, haven't you?
Her secret is deeply connected with your parents.
She went home. You know what you have to do, right?
Yeah.
Did you see what was on the board?
I sure did!
That's crazy, isn't it?
She's going to be transferring soon, I heard.
So she'll be expelled?
Expelled?
This is getting out of control...
Arima-kun...
Where could he have gone at a time like this?
Kanna-chan, you're in there, right?
Kanna-chan?
"Episode 17: A Pale, Ephemeral Vow"
What do you want?
When I was a kid, you were the one I saw at the beach, weren't you?
You haven't aged in 50 years.
That's why you keep transferring schools around Sakaimachi.
So nobody will suspect your age.
Am I wrong?
Is that all?
Is that all you want to ask me?
I don't want to know about your past...
I, um...
I want to know about you!
When I'm with you, it feels like I'm with family.
It's weird, but...
Family?
Just tell me what you can.
You don't have to say anything you don't want to.
So just... tell me about yourself.
How you feel.
There was a girl.
A girl without a father. Who lived with her mother, whom she loved.
The mother was like a sister to her. And a good friend.
"Hotel"
But they couldn't stay in one place for long.
They didn't age like normal people.
Even as the years passed, their appearances didn't change.
Eventually, her mother passed.
The girl cried.
She cried for a long time.
She didn't go to an orphanage.
She decided to live on her own.
It was hard to survive on her own.
But by then, she began to realize that she was a woman.
Bodies can connect much easier than minds.
That's why she sought a connection with someone.
She felt so pathetic.
She couldn't forgive herself. The poor girl.
She thought so many times about going to be with her mother.
But before she died, her mother had said,
"As long as you don't die, there is hope.
And as long as there is hope, there is possibility.
And as long as there is possibility, you must continue to live."
So the girl did as she was told and did her best to survive.
And then one day, she met...
A friendly man who laughed often.
And a quiet, elegant woman.
The two were like husband and wife.
They said they would take her in.
And gave her deep love and affection, like true parents.
That old bastard did something good, at least.
But they're gone now.
The girl was alone again.
There was nothing left to do but
feel pity for herself as she faced each day the same as the last.
That's not true!
Me and Mio and Yuki are all your friends!
You're not alone! We're with you!
Don't say that.
I know you actually look down on me.
No, that's not true!
Then...
Can you look at me?
Can you hold me in your arms?
Yes?
I made it so you couldn't go to school.
Now maybe I'll kill Kodai Arima's son.
Come to Meiunji Park at 9:00 PM. The fountain.
You can't escape me.
Was that Hojo?
Leave me alone.
I can't...
Please leave.
I can't stay with you.
Boss, you left this behind!
Oh, sorry.
Bye.
Hey, you were with Kanna-chan, right?
Is she really leaving school?
She seems firm about it.
She said she's moving, too.
And we finally got to be friends with her, too...
So you just left?
She said she can't stay with me.
She was clear.
There's nothing I can do.
That's not like you, Arima-kun.
Giving up so easily...
Don't say that. You don't have any idea what's going on!
Yup. I don't know a thing.
I don't, but I didn't think you were the kind of person
who'd just let a friend leave without saying anything.
That day we spent at the beach is something I'll never forgot.
I didn't know Kanna-chan could smile like that.
I don't know what her reasons are. But girls are strange things.
Sometimes they actually like you, but they act cold deliberately.
It's about time you realized that!
Thanks, Mio.
Shimazu-san...
I'm sorry, Yuki-kun.
Let me be alone for a little.
Kanna-chan!
"Meiunji Park 9 o'clock - Fountain"
I'm sorry she's leaving the school, but it was her decision.
There's nothing we can do.
I know. But...
Hatano-san is a friend.
We haven't known each other long, but she's dear to me.
I don't know what's going on with her, but I want to help.
And I'm worried about that weird guy.
Weird guy?
Hatano-san was being stalked.
Where is she?
Cut the crap!
Where is Kodai Arima? Tell me!
Tell me!
Stop it!
You pervert!
Arima-san, stay away! Please!
Leave me alone--
Shut up!
Bastard!
My head! It hurts so much!
Him too?
Perfect...
I can carve you up in front of her.
Stop it, please.
I'll tell you about Kodai-san.
Kodai Arima-san is...
No, Kanna-chan!
He's no longer in this world.
He left to a different place... a different dimension.
You've heard of Dela Granto, yes?
It's where my mother is from, right?
Dela Granto exists in another universe.
But once every 400 years, when it approaches Sakaimachi,
a very small amount of people come to this dimension.
Then my mother and Keiko-san...
Yes.
Keiko is... No, I should call her by her true name.
Keitia is gone.
"I must go on a journey, for the next me."
That's what she said before she left.
That's...
She left this for me.
She must have brought it from Dela Granto.
It's not something that originally existed in this world.
History does not repeat. It flows one way.
But the flow of time is different.
Keitia made me sure of this.
That's why I'm going to see her.
As a historian.
As a man.
Then my dad left this world to follow my mom?
Yes.
Oh, I see!
Of course I'm not going to believe that!
Stop it!
It's true!
You can't come up with a better lie?
Tell the truth, or I'll...
Knock it off already!
Kanna-chan, are you okay?
Arima-san, why?
Why...
I can't really understand your pain.
But you're alive. You're here.
I'm alive, and nothing more.
I have no dignity as a human being.
What point is there in my living?
Stop bringing yourself down.
But... But I...
You're not alone.
Don't just decide that there's no reason for you to exist!
Mio and Yuki both really care about you.
You're very dear to me, too.
Come live with me.
Get back!
Arima-san!
This looks dangerous...
Arima-san!
Eriko-sensei?
Sorry I'm late...
What are you doing here?
And why are you dressed like that?
I've been keeping tabs on him for a while.
I'm more interested in his employer, not him, though.
His employer?
That bastard Ryuzoji?
He was probably controlled by the Niarb.
Shimazu-kun had just come to talk to me about Hatano-kun.
So I raced over here.
Mio went to talk to you?
Let me deal with him.
I'll have questions for him later.
Eriko-sensei...
Take care of Hatano-kun.
Kanna-chan!
My pendant...
Kanna-chan!
Here you go!
What's going on? The light...
Arima-san...
Kanna-chan, wake up!
Kanna-chan!
It's because of this thing.
Then if I go back to before it broke...
I can't...
If it broke then, then just going back won't...
This is bad.
Her fever's awful.
Kanna-chan, what is that pendant?
The flame of my life...
Psychite...
Psychite?
What Geotech was after?
The stuff under Sakaimachi, right?
They said they hadn't succeeded in crystallizing it yet.
This is a different dimension.
The stone only exists in Dela Granto.
It's only there?
Yes.
It can't be crystallized here in this world.
I'm sorry.
I think it's over...
Kanna-chan...
Even after you said I'm not alone... that you wanted to live with me...
I'll go get some psychite.
Psychite!
I'll get it from another dimension!
I promise!
So just wait for me!
I guess it's time to tell you Kodai-san's last message for you.
You need eight jewels to go to Dela Granto.
The last jewel is in his study.
Inside the grandfather clock.
When all the jewels are in your possession,
go to the caves under Mt. Sankaku.
The burial chamber in the far back.
Kanna-chan...
I'll never let you be alone again!
You who bear the seal of the king.
When light and shadow, heavenly being and devil combine.
The name of the king will appear above thy head.
Speak the name of the king.
The name of the king is...
